[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 4544053, member: 1827"] crawl unders are my favorite set. 1. to reduce your chance of bycatch, only snare crawl unders that are low to the ground. 3 strand barbwire fence are usually too high and allow deer/dogs to use the crawl under. 5 strand barbwire fence the bottom strand is usually 10" or less off the ground. Deer will jump over, dogs will usually look for an easier route. Yotes are smaller and will use low access points. 2. use relaxing locks 3. a good snare support is critical to successful trapping. I make my own out of some 3/8 rebar, a piece of 10 ga wire and a washer. WEld Washer 4" up from bottom of stake to keep it from spinning in the ground. Weld 16" OF 10 GA wire to stake 18" up from the bottom. This allows precise placement of the snare loop. 4. Stake the snare AWAY from the fence crossing. The goal is to get the yote to run away from the fence when caught and entangle away from the fence to reduce damage/repairs. I used to tie off to a fence post but had huge tangles with every catch and fence repairs. Now I stake or tie off the snare away from the fence and leave just enough slack to allow the loop to hang in the correct spot. When they get caught, MOST of the time they don't mangle the fence.
